The movie has gotten mixed reviews after a limited open. It opens at theaters nationwide on December 9.
The plot goes like this: Chastain plays the titular Elizabeth Sloane, a powerful Washington lobbyist known for her ruthlessness and determination. She's a no-personal-life type of character who lives for the peaks and valleys of her job [can you say type A personality] that you'd typically find in a Aaron Sorkin script.
“Partly because “Miss Sloane†is more a character study than a coherent political drama, it fumbles the issue it purports to address, and it eventually runs aground in a preposterous ending. In light of the recent presidential election, it all feels like small potatoes.â€
